I came across an ad by the American Youth Literacy Foundation seeking artists. Being interested, of course, I inquired and was given the info for the sample sketches. Now apparently there were 75 artist inquires, but only 12 actual submissions. Despite my odds improving I was not selected. I’m not too upset about it. I really liked having a tight deadline and I’m happy with the sketches I sent in. One of the sample art themes were “Precocious Porcupines Prepare Powerful Potion”. This turned out to be the sketch that I enjoyed working on the most and overall.

These are just quick little sketches of an actual event from my exciting life. One morning I was greeted in the kitchen with one of the two cats having his head firmly lodged in a mason jar. Not sure how or why, but I got it out and everything turned out okay. Funnier now though much after the fact.
